Scientific Thought

Scientists can easily measure the speed of sound and light - therefore why can't they measure the speed of darkness?

There are two view points.

1.

Darkness does not move, it is always present, and light is layed on top of it. (As an analogy, consider a table as being darkness, a tablecloth as being light: when you pull the tablecloth off, the table itself (darkness) doesn't move).

2.

Darkness moves at the same speed as light, and it meets the laws of motion in that Darkness is the equal and opposite reaction for the action of the movement of light.

 

[colin(bridgend)]

If darkness is the equal but opposite reaction to light and light can be measured why then cannot darkness be measured in a similar manner?

It's too Dark

Cris - she is at long last stumped for words - we have baffled her.

Darkness is always there ( a constant )

Light is the travelling factor that masks the ever present darkness ;-)

Clecker box. Tell teacher I don't care - Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me, God will pay you when you die for all the names you call me.

I thought that would scare you. perhaps Lord B. is still standing in the corner, I did not tell him to come out, did you?

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Leave him there - he only causes trouble in class when he is let loose.

 

[LizCornwall]

And you don't

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Never -the term defination of characture springs to mind here - my solicitor will be contacting you - Messrs Howe and Spender of Lord Howe of Aberavon fame (a genuine Lord from Mrs. T. days as Prime Minister)

 

[LizCornwall]

They don't scare me Messrs.Messrs. I have Messrs.Mop and Bucket Co.Limited on myside beat that, p.s and we work in the dark. Liz

But I wouldn't do that ;-)

 

[LizCornwall]

No I wouldn't do that

 

[cris_408518]

But if you do what I've done you have plenty of scope ;-)
